A Mistaken Night With The CEO 89| The photo
In the Luis mansion, Derrick woke up in his room and prepared for the day's work as he was going to his office. His mobile phone rang from the shelf beside his bed where he kept it. Derrick ignored his ringing phone and went into his bathroom to bathe. The time was past 7 am, and knowing he had many tasks to do, he prepared to take his bath.While bathing, Derrick remembered how Miranda now looked. As much as he desired to have her again, he remembered that he was the one who had sent her away before and told her not to return."What am I going to do now? How do I speak to her?" Derrick finished his bath in the bathroom. As he got out, he dried off his wet body and dressed up in a deep blue suit. He was going to the office and had some shareholders' meetings at noon.After dressing up, Derrick picked up his phone as he was done adjusting his necktie. He saw that Erica Harrison was the one calling him."What does she want again?" He muttered as he kept his phone away, stowing it into hi

He looked so handsome and resembled her late husband too."He's truly your son, Derrick. You should go and bring him. I want to see him," Lady Loretta said, as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.Derrick finished his tea and placed the cup on the table. "I will, Mom, but not today. Over the weekend," he replied, rising up to leave the dining room."Derrick," Lady Loretta called him as Derrick walked out to meet her."Mom, I already promised you that I will go see Miranda, but I have a lot of work to do today. Please, I will try and talk to her. I saw that she is already engaged to someone else, a

He didn't bother to ask her about Derrick, since Miranda wasn't ready to call Derrick as promised.They went into the mall, and Miranda was restless, wondering if Derrick had arrived to see her. However, her hope of seeing him failed as she didn't see him throughout the day. Upon closing hour at 6 pm, Larry arrived at Miranda's mall. It was Wednesday, and he had been busy the previous day, not having time to check on her. Also, his mother had called him to come over to the city and hand his office project to his assistant to work on."Hey baby," Larry greeted Miranda as she arrived at the parking lot with her son."Good evening, welcome," Miranda managed to reply. She was wearing a white v-neck gown that had her cleavage exposed, and Oliver wore a yellow top, blue denim shorts, and white canvas shoes."I'm sorry, I couldn't come over the previous day to check on you both," Larry apologized, staring at Miranda with love."It'

Friday arrived, and Oliver didn't bother his mother about meeting his dad again.

Oliver asked Miranda as he went to her room to check on her.Miranda was preparing to have her bath, as it was Friday morning. She knew her son had been looking forward to Saturday, and it was only a day away."You don't have to pack your suitcase, Oliver. You're just going to visit your Dad; it's not like you're going to live with them," Miranda said, frowning."But Mom, can't I stay with Daddy for a week? Then I'll be back the following week to stay with you?" Oliver asked, still in his white pajamas."Hmm. I haven't told your Daddy yet that you'll be coming to stay with him. Maybe after we visit him, and he asks you to stay, then I'll arrange for your suitcase and send it. But for now, you won't pack your suitcase," Miranda told him, and O

"Mom!" Oliver frowned as he saw his daddy, but his mother wouldn't allow him to say hi."We have to go now, Larry. We will see you after closing hour," Miranda said to Larry as she swiftly wanted to leave his office. She couldn't believe the face of the man she saw was Derrick. She appeared tense as she hadn't expected to see Derrick in the second building beside Larry's company."Wait, babe. Remember, I want us to hang out tonight before you go home," Larry said. "I have a lovely present for you tonight," he added while seated in his office chair.Miranda looked back at him, blushing after seeing Derrick's face. "Okay, sweetheart. Take care," she replied.She swiftly exited Larry's office, dragging Oliver along with her as she could feel her heart pounding loudly in her chest."Mom, you didn't allow me to say hello to my Dad," Oliver cried as he accompanied Miranda downstairs. Miranda didn't reply as she carefully descended the staircase to the lobby.The bank had bright white paint

As Derrick and Oliver entered the mall, the shoppers were busy, making the mall crowded. However, as Lady Blessing spotted Oliver and Derrick together, she looked taken aback to see the man's face. She hadn't thought that Oliver had a father around, especially a handsome billionaire.Lady Blessing was wearing a black dress and noticed the way some female shoppers were drooling over Derrick's handsomeness."Hey handsome," some silly ladies winked at Derrick as he entered the mall, holding Oliver's hand. His face looked stoic as he was tense, and this was his first time entering the mall.Derrick hadn't thought that such a big establishment would belong to Miranda. He was interrupted from staring around and at the pretty women shopping as his son spoke to him, "Follow me, Dad."Derrick gulped and followed Oliver, who led him to Miranda's office. Lady Blessing Kingston didn't try to stop Oliver nor Derrick, assuming Miranda was aware of him and the reason Derrick had Oliver with him.The

Derrick looked taken aback by Miranda's action. She was offering a check to him to leave her office."Haha!" He burst out laughing hard as he hadn't had such a good laugh in a long time. He leaned over at Miranda's chair as he looked at her pretty face and her hands holding the check."How much are you offering me again to leave?" Carefully, Derrick removed the check from Miranda's hand and gazed at it."Five million cash. Impressive," he smiled, but Miranda frowned as she got lost admiring his handsome features. She hadn't seen him laugh heartily before, and it made her admire him and want to compare his handsome face laughing to her son's face."Hmm, I'm not joking with you, Mr. Derrick. Leave my office now, before I contact my security men about you!" Miranda warned, anger slightly evident in her voice. Derrick folded the check and kept it in his coat inner pocket and replied, "I will present this check to my mother and let her know that you gave me the money as payoff for her kindn

He then drove ahead to a fancy restaurant in town to go on a date with her.It wasn't Miranda's first time going on a dinner date with Larry; however, she kept thinking about Derrick—how he looked now, how he smiled at her, and how he spoke about her becoming his wife. He didn't say she was going to be his wife; he called her his wife, and she blushed just thinking about him."We have arrived, babe," Larry said, but Miranda was lost in her own world and didn't properly hear what he said."Babe," Larry called to get Miranda's attention again. Noticing that she appeared lost and in deep thought, his mind relaxed seeing her blushing face, assuming she was thinking about him.It was past 7 PM, getting dark as night gradually approached. Miranda still looked radiant at that evening hour."Babe, we have arrived at the restaurant," Larry informed he

To follow me to my company and also, make our business jointly together," Derrick said. He lay on the bed, watching Miranda brushing her teeth, as he finished speaking to her about his father's company."That's nice. There's nothing much about mine. You know, I was thinking about it. I won't be able to keep in touch with them here if I go with you. So can we open another branch in the city, while we base there?" she asked him, as she finished brushing her teeth in the bathroom."That's fine. I haven't considered that before. But we need to expand our business to more states," Derrick said.Miranda smiled and joined him on the bed after she was through brushing her teeth. She hugged him and kissed him directly on his lips."Babe, I'm discussing with you about our business, and all your focus is on

Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company.
